I have to admit that I don't love the new email. (My primary source of interaction with you.)

Two easy changes that I would like to see:

a) Make the PC logo a link to your main site. I sometimes get the email and want to go directly to your main page.

b) Make the headlines links to the story.

Thanks,
Sean

for some reason the new layout seems to have borked my outlook/newsgator PC & PCUK feeds. Every title now has lots of whitespace at the front..

Very surprised that paidContent would add a registration function without utilizing one or more of the many authentication systems (e.g. Facebook Connect, Twitter or OpenID) that it spends quite a bit of time reporting on. Seems like an oversight.

Great new look! The newsletter layout is pretty slick too.

Rafat et al,

Good: Classier, newzier, more mobile, Twitter-linked.
Suggest: resizing columns, reduce the pop-up, younger colors, place more nav buttons and add tiny little cash dispenser at the lower right corner.
-Thanks, then!

Rafat,

I like the new look. But it seems to have broken the downloadable app for my phone. I read PC almost exclusively on my phone so anything you can do would be appreciated!

Thanks

As a former graphic designer, I must say that I like the narrower column. Easier to read.

I miss the grey color, though. Grey made PC unique and easy on the eyes. Now it's black type like all the other enewsletters I get.

It was easier to get into the guts of the story with old format. Now I feel that I'm reading headlines and subheads and have to jump to get into the guts. Is that what you intended?

PC is still a must-read.

Please give me some type of summary of the article in the email. Essentially the email has become useless as a tool to skim articles you want to read.

You guys are the must read, but best to keep it simple. The blog style was more efficient to read and scan – it really worked – and it was differentiating from other sites.

put a "return to top" button next to "keep reading" button so you don't have to scroll up to see headlines.
